    Dear volunteers , please don't ask me if you can come to help me if you are not sure to come then, in this way, you don't let other people to have this possibility and I am left without any help in that time. and if I have approved your help,at least you could tell me your changing of planes. I think the spirit of workaway is to find a connection between us and not as if you are booking a hostel or a B&B. so I will consider only questions for the current month and the next one , not for 5 or 6 months later.Thanks

    ok...I am 61 years old, for half of my life I was a traveler, after I stop here in Castellammare di Stabia (close to Pompei) on the hill in front of Vesuvius working in restoration of old forniture. ( if someone is interested I still have the lab and I can teach the job). now the main work is to hold up a big garden (quietly a little farm but without animals). I make olive oil, wine, many different fruit trees and bio vegetables for the house.
